Kursteilnehmer-Bewertung und -Feedback für Mathematical Thinking in Computer Science von University of California San Diego

Absloutely Fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn data structures and algorithms thoroughly.

Enjoyable and interesting...also easy to follow for people like me who have been out of college long time back.

this is a very nice course ,its has broaden my whole knowledge about maths

thanks to the creator of this course

The course is very good at equipping the basic math concepts for computer science. I highly recommend it!

Awesome course for beginners. It helped me alot to understand the logic and how to solve problems.

Great introduction to mathematical thinking and how to apply it to computational problems.

This was the one-stop that I'll never regret learning things again in a different manner.

Puzzles are great. Seems Instructors put lots of efforts into it. Different approach !

This course mostly consists of a set of loosely related under the umbrella of discrete mathematics. A lot of the exercises take the form of puzzles where you either have to solve the puzzle or determine whether a solution is impossible. The puzzles are fun and make for good brain exercise; however, I'm not sure if all of this has made me a better programmer. It's worth noting that most Computer Science degrees will require some form of discrete math coursework, so if you're considering CS and are worried about the math requirements, this Specialization would be good to try out.

Great course with variety of different mathematical puzzles.

Two things can be improved:

1) It's not always obvious which global subject is discussed during the week and what is a connection with puzzles, some kind of review video at start of each week will be helpful.

2) Sometimes explanations not clear at all. I did watched some videos 2-3 times before completely understand what is going on. It will be great to have a rigours proof of theorems as supplementary reading material.

I liked the course, and I enjoyed the math for sure. BUT, I think there were some sections that could have been explained more thoroughly and perhaps some videos that could have been shot again to be more clear. But whatever, I am very grateful to be able to learn this here :)

While the material itself is important and very useful in general, the course, unfortunately, doesn't have enough practical material to help students to internalise it.

Some explanation are unclear or confusing.

The course is taught by 3 instructors. This makes the experience strikingly unbalanced. The style of course delivery and explanation is very poor with one of the instructors, the one who took Week 1 and 6. The rest of the weeks were OK. The other two instructors were clear with their arguments. This course has a very different approach (do-it-yourself-before-expalnation-by-instructors), although it was mentioned clearly on the Course Info page. If you can make out yourself what strategy to apply for the interactive puzzles, then you are doing good. Otherwise, the puzzles will just be trial-and-error games for you. The instructors were kind enough to answer on the Discussion Forum, but do not expect much activity from your fellow learners as there might be very few people taking this course with you.

I believe that the content of this course is both important and interesting. However, the learning methods used are awful. To begin with, while going through the interactive puzzles I felt that I was not learning anything related to the core lesson at hand. Moreover, the exercises feel like disconnected trivia unrelated to the theoretical explanations. I think the course should be heavily revamped in order to present a proper and useful corpus of knowledge.

This course is good for beginner.

rather than being complicated it will change the way you think.

one advice---- you should have knowledge of python basic to complete the assignment of this course

I have come to know how mathematical proof is fun thing to do, this course transformed me, i highly recommend it to every one. I would like to thank every one involved in providing this course.

This course will improve your problem solving skills and gives you a rigorous explanation in how to counter various mathematical problems in the real life. You will think like a mathematician.

Course was good, but sometimes i needed additional sources to understand topic better. Maybe, it was because of my english. Anyway it gave me a path what i should look for! Thank you!

I was waiting for such a great course on discrete Mathematics in coursera.

Thank you UC San Diego

I like the course. Still some mistakes and bugs, but course is really interesting to pass. Thanks

An amazing course really!! The interactive fun assignments make it all the more interesting!! :D

There are many very interesting cases in this course! I will definitely recommend it to others!

A great introductory course and well organized. You can feel that professor loves mathematics.

Just the last Bonus Track problem please give some hints how to approach and solve the problem
